Rahway River Park Construction Update
October 15th
The support for the temporary dam is in place.
The temporary dam is assembled on land before being positioned in the water.
October 18th
The temporary dam in place in the water.
Amazingly, the tarp and sandbag combination is able to keep out most of the water.

The Rahway River Park Pond Dam to Be Replaced
The dam by the scenic wooden bridge on the pond in Rahway River Park is being replaced. Work started in October. Weather permitting, the work is to be finished in two months.
The plan is to put a temporary dam in place beyond where the actual dam is. When the area around the old dam is dry, the old dam will be dismantled and rebuilt. When the new dam is finished, the temporary dam will be removed.
Progress will be monitored on this blog.
This is how the dam looked in June of this year,
and in August.
I saw this backhoe on October 7th,
and on October 13th more equipment was brought in
and the support for the temporary dam was positioned in the pond.
